About this old mine cut / antique cushion ring
Are old mine cut and antique cushion the same thing?
Old mine cut is often described as antique cushion because of its cushion outline and antique-style faceting. This ring uses a newly grown lab diamond cut in that style; the vintage character comes from the cut and design.
What makes this double band compass design different?
The ring combines two parallel polished bands with compass claws at the north, south, east and west points of an elongated old mine cut diamond. The other double band design has a softly squared antique cushion held by corner claws.
Which diamond sizes and qualities can I choose?
Choose a 1ct, 1.5ct, 2ct, 2.5ct or 3ct lab-grown centre diamond. Good: F colour, VS1 clarity; Better: E colour, VS1 clarity; Best: D colour, VVS clarity. Carat weight refers to the centre diamond. Contact us for the measurements and grading details of your proposed diamond.
What does the price include?
The setting is £2,500, excluding the centre diamond. With a 1ct F VS1 lab-grown centre diamond, the complete ring is £3,500. Selecting a centre stone size and quality displays the combined price of the setting and centre diamond. Prices for every listed size and quality are in The Finer Details.
